A.B. in SA tonight to promote latest CD

A.B. Quintanilla, family and friends will be at Cabo Tropical Grille, 7711 Guilbeau Road, tonight for a CD Listening Party. Announcements started airing on 95.1 FM La Kalle early this week, and this afternoon, A.B. himself confirmed his appearance during an on-air interview. Quintanilla invited fans to bring cameras (no video) for photo opps and to bring copies of his new CD for him to autograph.

A.B. Quintanilla’s All Starz released “La Vida de un Genio” (“The Life of a Genius”) on July 27, 2010. He gathered an all-star lineup that includes legends like Jose Feliciano, international pop stars like Jon Secada, longtime Mexican singer/songwriter Reyli, Spanish pop star Shaila Durcal (daughter of the late legend Rocio Durcal), and Marciano Cantero from Latin rock group Los Enanitos Verdes. From closer to home, on-again-off-again All Starz lead singer D.J. Kane appears on several of the tracks and his distinctive vocals stand out among some of the more internationally known artists.

While fans might assume that the “genio,” or genius, referred to in the CD’s title is A.B. himself, it’s a refreshing surprise that he is actually paying tribute to his father, Abraham Quintanilla.

Voiceovers preface each track of the CD, and before the title track, A.B. thanks his dad for discovering the talent of himself, and sisters Suzette and Selena.
